I live in NZ where there are medical standards applied to legal cannabis - only recently have I seen dispensaries advertising non irradiated cannabis, presumably because the manufacturing facilities have progressed to no longer require it.

It might be something similar?

non irradiated?
It’s a common sterilisation technique [1].

Quite common for example for dried spices, which pre-irradiation used to have a risk of dangerous bacterial contamination if they were dried outside.
